PALMETTO FIRE COMPANY. .The 69th Anniversary of our National Independence, was celebratetd in a spirit ed andl becoming manner by the PALIIsv -ro FsiE Esotas CourAr,4ef Edge field. At3 o'clock P. M., the Memnhers of the Company assenibled in front of their En gine House, and immediately after their formation marched to the Baptist Church. As the Company entered the Church, the Edge~eld Band of Music, which was seat ed in the gallery,.- played an appropriaae air. As soon as thte music hiad ceased, the Rev. Dr. Johnson arose and addressed the throne of Divine Grace. in a solemn and impressiveWmanner ;after which the De claratiop of Independence was .read by Mr. H. R. Murray, Chief Engineer of the Company. As Mr. Murray closed, the band again played a national air, after which the Orator of'the day, Capt. C. A. *Meigs, entertained the' audietnce for the space of about forty minutes, with a neat and patriotic Oration, which was well re * ceived, and which' was not only creditable -to its author, but, to the Company general Ifly. The orator's remarks to the mnembers of the Company, in the introductory part 64o1isoration, were peculiarly appropriate. '.We would like very much: to see the-ora ti'on ii print."4 As' the speaker, clased, the bad -again played, anter which the Rev. *Dr.'Johnson pronounced a benediction, aod'thie Company returned to. their En. giue House and was dismissed. At half past four, the Company, togeth er-with a number of invited guests, sat down to ~an excellent Dinner. prepared for the occasion, by the worthy host of the Planters -Hotel. C. H.

Bland, E-q.: The Orator of the Day-We recognize him as a worthy citizen of our State, by adoption, and his eTrt this day exhibit the feelings of a true American heart. Capt. Meigs responded to the above sentiment in a few brief remarks, in which he acknowledged the' many favors which ad been conferred upon him in various ways, by the inhabitants of Edgefield, adil hoped ihe opportunity might be afforded him of reciprocatio. to the extent of his ability. By Gen. M. L. Boanham: The Palmet to Fire Company-Their zeal and profi ciency are convincing 'proofs that the privileges conferred tportthetm by the Le gislature have not been unworthily be sitowed. The President of the Day here arose, and iu behalf of the, Company, returned his grateful acknowledgmaents to Gen. Bon ba, de't only for the sentinient which be had offered. but for his exertions in pro curing the charter of the Company during the last session of the Legislature. .it was through the exertions of Gen. B., in con nexion with other members of the Legts lature from this District, that the Compa ny was indebted for its present charter, and to a grcat extent for its existence. The President concluded by offering the fol lowifg: : - - The Bar (of Edgefield Distrit-Cele hrated alike for their urbanity of mannerst, and for their devotion to the cause of truth anti justice.

Do you take the hint. BARBACUE TO MR. McDUFFIE. It is with feeliig' of pleasenre'and pride. that we publish to-day, the invitation to the Barbe cue, which is to be given.to Jiy. MAcDUFFIE. by. a portion of his formet-constituentas. We regret that more time wasi6t allowed to extend he invitation. There nay be ame, we fear, deprived of this intellectual treat,;by not know ing that Mr. McDuffie is to address the people on the occa sion. We, therefore,-rge upon all who receive our paper tY extend tie infornia tion to their neighbours. In tiis connexion we deem it proper to say that the shortness of the notice was unavoidable-Mr. McDuffie himself having appointed the day. -Nor in he to blame ; for though the people of Old Edgefield have srong claims upon him. they mitat rementber that his time is not hisaown. He has other, and perhaps, more import engagesu:etuts to fulfil, Tennessee and Georgia are yet to be converted, and there is "old Rip"-asleep again. Ini those States, his services -arc needed, and we must sare him, We are assured that preparations are making fir the largest Barbecue ever given In this Dis trict-all are in invited- let all come. We know that the people have not only entire'coii fidence in Mr McDuftlie's auperior intellect and sound judgment; but also in his perfect. purity and sincerity. They know hIimi to he incorruptible, and they, therefore, believe him. le wants no honors nor offices, that are in the gift of the 'government. What motive then can he have to betray or deceive us? He is es sentially one of its, He has never w-ide poli tis. a trade, and to this nmy be attributed the unbounded influence which lhe thi' day pousses sea over the public mind of South Carolina. When such purity of character, is combined wiih tbrilliant genius, clear discriminationa, and sound judgment,- too much ieliance cannot he placed in the opinion of the person posses-gin it. We shall await, therefote, wvith eager anx iety, the arrival of the day appointed for his speech, and when it does arrive, we shall go prepred to beliese achise hear. Our immediate Representative Mr. Burt has been specially invited to attend and speak on that occasion. As a lawyer, his ability is well known to us-we shall then, for the fist time, view him as a politician, and we predict, con idetly, that he will equal the most sanguine expectations of his warmest and most enthusi astic admirers. His Excellency, Governor Hammond, has also been invited, and it is hoped that he will attend and address the. people. Brave and talented as lie undoubtedly is,'and true to the State as he now -is. and always has been, it can not but be a-matuer of deep interest to the people to knowv his views at this cri'is The Hon. Langdont Cheves is also expected to be with us. Thongh but little known of late years'to the political 'world, he must ever be ranked among the most gifted oflCaroli na's gifled sons.. What Carolinian can ever forget this oneo of the "illustrious triop?" And can the associate of lowndes and Calholn re main inactive whilst "eSouthern rights are to. be strictly maintained,'and Soiuthern wrongs esisted at every hazard ?" No! 03T Achilles must, lease his tent. The presence otths#ion Daniel E. Huger, our ether distingighsed tionator,hias been re qested alho, and w hope that the people will not be disilppointed, in their..expectation of seeing him. That: Judge' Huger there is no one of these eminent men whose 'sentiments woul ba listened to~ivith' moi-e 'intense anx iely, or whose opinions would carry. more weight. The people of this= District will be.gratified to learn that Judge Butler is also au invited guest. The opportunity of listening once more to his fervid and vigorous elonqence, would of itself, command a general concourse of the citizens of this District. Temperance Conrenion.-The Temperance Convention of the State of South Carolina, will meet at Edgefield Court House, on Wed nesday the 31st instant. Many ofthe distinguished advocates of the principles of Total Abstinence will be present on that joccasion, from this, and the adjoining States; and all who desire to hear the subject ably and fully discussed. will do well to em brace the opportunity. It will be a time full of interest to the good cause, and it is hoped will be attended with great and lasting good, in promoting the cause of Temperance, prosperi ty, and happiness throughout the land. We have a hope, that our citizens will, with their accustomed liberality, throw open wide their doors, to receive with a hearty welcome, all, who shall give our village the honor of their company, during the time of this benevolent meeting. New Books.,-Mr. E. C. Reemer, of this vil' lage, Agent fur a number of periodicals, has presented us with copies of the following new publications, which, from the hasty glance we hava giveu them, we pronounce Is considera bly interesting: " The Life of James Knox Polk. Esqr.," the Democratic candidate for the office of President of the United States. " The Martyr Wife," a Domestic Romance, by the author of " Hiram Elwood, the Banker, or. like father like son." " Rose D'Albert, or Troublons Times,' a Romance, by G. P. R. James, Esqr." Mr. R. keeps constantly for sale a great va riety of the newest Novels. Augusta Washingtonian.-The publisher of this valuable Temp.: anee Journal, ro-com. nences the publiction of it on Saturday next. We invite the friends of Temperance to come forward and throw in their mite in support of this Journal, which has, since its establishment done much in furthering the advancement ojf the good cause in which it has been engaged, in our district. Texas and France -The Charleston Patriot says: " It is rumored that Despatches came out by the Steamer from the French Government, upon the subject of Texas annexation Oneof the French papers, the Seicle. says, it wishes . Texas to be independent, under the protection ofFranceasacounterpoise. or curb for Mexico.' From Mexico.-The latest accounts from Mexico, appear to be rather of a hostile nature, Santa Anna talks loudly of retaking Texas, and has called upon the government for about four millions of money and 30,000 men to ac complish his purpose. He says: " So soon as the money may he voted, that troops shall be put in motion; but as it would be necessary, if hostilities commenced this sea son, as the President desires to withdraw troops from points in the interior important to be guarded, he makes the further requisition of 30.000 men to be stationed at these points. " He protests strongly that these reqisitions are made with no personal view of aggrandize ment- The President asks for no extension of powers, but only for means ofexercising the powers already delegated to him, and so to pre.' serve intatct the honor, dignity and integrity of the Mexican natioti,' "Such are the principal features of the pro jetl now before Cong~ress. In the nmeantimne there are maniy whmothiuik that a mtajority of the members will not vote for the appropriation of $4000,000. Should such be the case, it is confdently expected, so anoxious is Santa An na to raise themoney, that he will dissolve the Congress, send home the members, and then issne an order for a forced loan, ot else adopt some other measture to carry otnt his schemes. The next arriyal from Mexico will probably tell the whole story." 0- By the Steamer Great Western, advices have heen receiyad, at Newv York, trom Liver pool, to the 22d ult.. The N. Y. Hemald.of the 7th inst. states, that the intelligence received y the Steamer, is not of the highest import ance, being only three days later than that re ceived by the Britannia, except as far as Cot ton is concerned, which article has advanced full one-eighth. The following extract of a let tr received ini Charleston, and published in the Patriot of the 10th inst., -should, at least. give onr Planters a hope, of better prices: LIVER'OOL, .Iune 21. Simuktaneouslj with large arri'als oft Cotton. as is not unfrequently the case, an extensive demand has prevailed daily throughout the week, and the marke't closes at abont 1-8d per lb. advance upon -onr .quotatioiis. This im provement has shown itssif moat decidedly ini the middling and middhitng fair qualities gene rally, and most especially in Orleans and Mo bile, which. notwithstanding'the large stocks on hand, offer in very -limited quantity Hol ders are exposed to such immense losses, that, looking to the state of trade in the country-to the certainty that the present crop as a maxi mum-will not exceed two million ofbalee-and to the possibility and even the probability of the coiing crop not exceedi'a the same quantity -they see no cause for apprehension, and no motive to indne them to make sales excepting at higher and gradually improving rates. .The pat teaches caution in raferenCe to predictions; but had- even the real extent of the present crop heen known in the earlier part of thieyear, there is hardly any one that does not saippose prices would'havebeen higher than they nowv are. A series of dfsappointment and,. general uncertainty have more shaken confidence, and more depressed the market than any probable large estimate of crop could have dune had it at once been fairly stated." Rise in the Misausipp.-The Cincinnati Daily Advertiser, states, that the river onthie 23d ult., was thirty-eight feet two inchtes plumb above low water mark, and this was seven feet to inches above the curb stone of the market in St. Louis. In Citicinnati the height of tho water above the low water mark, was about sixty-one feet ! One of the scenes which this tremndons flood of water has produced is thus depited in the St. Louis Republican: "A gondleman yesteriday gave us a vivid description of the effects oaf the flood in tdie Sad H ill prairie, lying in Ray county, ble tween Camden and Lexington. 'On one of the hihest of the hills. which are -scattered over th..rairen whisch he-went to last Snnran in a canoe, trtet a laborious trip ngainst a power ful.current, he saw a collection as vatied almost as that contained in Noah's ark:ten.omen, children; horses, oxen, and cattle oferery -de= scription; rabbits, squirrels, sheep,- and hogs;. even reptiles. (for they killed a" copperheid while he was there.).wete gathered together lit: fellowship by the instinct of'self-preservaon, common to brute as well al man.. The lowing of the frightened cattle, the neighing of the hor+ ses, the strange mixture of the animals, wild and tame. all seeming to have forgotten the habits of Nature, ntid looking to the human counretance for safety; the deep anxiety ated agitation of the rational portion of this singular congregation on the Sabbath, and amid that wild scene of desolation. lef) an impressidn of1 his mind (our informant says) which he will not soon forget, but which it is not easy to des cribe." 917 The citizens of Philadelphia are again arrayed against eath other in a civil war. In consequence of a number of muskets -having been found in a Catholic Church, where they had been deposited by consent of the Governor of the State, and the Mayor of the city, to ena ble the members of the Church to protect their property, during the recent disturbances. a mob, of some thousands, collected in the vicin ity of the Church, for the purpose, no doubt, of laying it in ruins, as they had one or two in their former outbreak. The Mayor and Shet i, after doing all in their power to disperse the mob, called to their assiEtance the military, who, after they had used all their endeavours, peaceably, to disperse the mob, (having been hardly pressed upon, and abused whilst in the execution of their duty,) they were ordered to fire upon the mob, which order was promptly obeyed, -fter having given the mob a sufficient time to have dispersed, which they persisted in refusing; the firing, thus commenced. was returned by the mob. and in the skirmish a number of both parties were killed and wound ed. The city, by the last accounts, had be come somewhat quiet, the Sheriff and the mob having come upon terms of a peaceble charac ter. the mob promising to lay down their arms and disperse, provided that the civil, instead of the military nuthoirty, took possession of the Church. Upon consultation with tho4overn. or of the State, the commanding general, and the Mayor of the city. the Sheriff complied with tho terms of their truce, and ere this, we presume the citizens nave been enabled to re sume their business which had in a measure been stopped. The number of killed and woun ded in this outbreak, amounted to about fifty Counterfeits.-The Charleston Mercury of the 9th inst, says:-" We are requested to call public attention to the fact, that there are in circulation counterfeit. twenty dollar notes, of the Batik of Georgetown, S. C. The spurious bill exhibits as vignette, a representation of the Bank of the United States at Philadelphia; the Bank of Georgetown has no such plate; the vignette on the genuine bill, is Commerce, re presented by a female figure, seated, and a ship in the distance. The Bank has never used any other plate than this, for bills of that de nomination, since it went into operation. The counterfeit in question, is signed D. L. McKay. Cashier, W. Coachman President, the imita tion of the Cashier's signature is good, but that of the President is badly exceuted and evident ly by the same hand." For te Advertiser. Mr. EnIvot--Yon are requested to give the following, which was read beforc the Ministers' and Deacons' Conference of the Edgefield Baptist Association at its late meeting by Wil. lianm B. Johnson. By order of the Conference, W. B. JOHNSON, Chairman. July 13,1844. To the Ministers' and Deacons' Meeting of the Edgefed Baptist Association. DEAn BRETHEN -In compliance with your request.I now p resent ani aunswer to the follow ing query: -"eu Christ pray for sinners, or for believers only ?" The following Scriptures will throw light on the subject. " When they, (the Jews) were come to the place, which is called Calvary, thtere they crucified him (Jesus) and the nale factor's; one, on the right hand, and the other, on the lelt. Then said Jesus. Father, forgive them, for they know not whtat they do " Luke xxiii. 33, 34. "I pray for them;t (my disci ples ) I pray not for tie world, but for them which thou hast given me: for they are thiine." ". Neither pray I for these alone; but for them also which shall believe on me through their word." John xvii., 9, 20. Inm the first quotation fromi the New Testa men:, we learn that Jesus prayed for sinners of the vilest character,. and who were about to perp~emrte upon himself the moat altrocious' wickedness. This is in perfect keeping with his intercession, as mediator on behalf of guil ty men-as the lamb of Goed, that taketh away the sin oh the world; of that world which is Father so loved, as to send him his otnh begot ten son into it, that whosoever believeth in hum,. shonld not perish, biut have everlastin'life. On the same principle, his-Apostle thus ei presaes his desire to his .son Til.nothy:A I sa hart, therelore, that first of all, supplications,5 prayers, intercessions. and giving of thamks be miade for all mna: for Kings, and for all .mndI that are int authority, that we may lead 'a quiet' life in all godliness and..honesty, 'for'stisi good and- acceptable in the sight of Gad our Ba, vior; who will have all men to be' saveid,:and come unto the knowledge ofthe'trth.". nT.m ii. 1-4. - From the second quotation we learn, t sat Jesus p rayed specially -and .definitely for his A postles. and for all that should believe-o him through - their word; He did 'not. h, thus praying for his people, pray fortIe q converted, "- I pray not for the world i~btfor them, which thou hast given me.''
